13 O’Clock Episode 440: The Pike County Massacre

23 Jan 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The Pike County massacre refers to the grisly killings of eight members of the Rhoden family in rural Pike County, Ohio, on April 21-22, 2016. The victims, spanning three generations, were shot execution-style at four separate homes, sparking one of Ohio’s largest murder investigations. The case involved family disputes, custody battles, and accusations of premeditated violence. In 2018, four members of the Wagner family—George “Billy” Wagner III, Angela Wagner, and their sons, George Wagner IV and Edward “Jake” Wagner—were charged with the murders. Authorities alleged the Wagners meticulously planned and carried out the killings due to a custody conflict over Jake Wagner’s daughter with one of the victims, Hanna Rhoden. The investigation involved extensive evidence, including surveillance footage, firearms, and forensic data. Jake Wagner eventually pleaded guilty in 2021, admitting his role in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, and implicated his family members. Trials for the others, including George Wagner IV, followed, drawing national attention.

13 O’Clock Episode 439: Bryan Kohberger and the University of Idaho Murders

16 Jan 2025 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

In November 2022, four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—were tragically killed in a brutal stabbing attack at an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of November 13, sparking widespread fear and grief in the small college town. The victims were found in their shared home near the university campus, and the case quickly drew national attention due to the violent nature of the crime and the initial lack of leads. The investigation spanned weeks, involving local, state, and federal authorities. In late December 2022, Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. criminology student at Washington State University, was arrested and charged with the murders. Authorities linked him to the crime through DNA evidence, cell phone records, and surveillance footage. The case remains ongoing as Kohberger awaits trial.

13 O’Clock Episode 433: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Massacre

5 Dec 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Frank Lloyd Wright is probably the most famous architect in American history, being responsible for designing hundreds of distinctive structures—such as Fallingwater in Pennsylvania and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City—and cultivating a modernist style he referred to as “organic architecture.” What many people may not know, though, is that in 1914, Wright was at the center of a huge scandal and a horrific massacre at Taliesin, his house/studio in Spring Green, Wisconsin that he’d built to stay in with his mistress, Mamah Borthwick. In August of 1914, a disgruntled chef at the complex, Julian Carlton, went on a rampage, slaughtering seven people with a hatchet, including Mamah and her two children, before setting both bodies and structures on fire. Join Tom and Jenny on this fascinating journey into Wisconsin true crime on an architectural episode 433.

13 O’Clock Episode 414: Robert Ben Rhoades – The Truck Stop Killer

25 Jul 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Robert Ben Rhoades, known as the Truck Stop Killer, is an American serial killer and rapist who terrorized the highways of the United States during the late 1980s and early 1990s. A long-haul truck driver, Rhoades used his job to traverse the country, abducting, torturing, and murdering victims in his mobile torture chamber—a specially modified sleeper cab in his truck. His crimes came to light in 1990 when a police officer discovered a handcuffed woman in his truck during a routine traffic stop. Rhoades was subsequently arrested and linked to multiple murders. He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. His exact number of victims remains unknown, but investigators believe he could be responsible for as many as fifty deaths.

13 O’Clock Episode 413: Ronald DeFeo Jr. – The Real Amityville Horror

18 Jul 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Ronald DeFeo Jr. was the perpetrator of a notorious mass murder that took place on November 13, 1974, in Amityville, New York. DeFeo, 23 years old at the time, murdered his entire family: his parents, Ronald DeFeo Sr. and Louise DeFeo, and his four siblings, Dawn, Allison, Marc, and John Matthew, as they slept in their home. The victims were shot with a .35 caliber Marlin rifle. DeFeo initially claimed that the killings were carried out by a mob hitman, but his story quickly unraveled. He later confessed to the murders, stating that he had heard voices urging him to kill his family. The case gained widespread attention and eventually inspired the book and subsequent film adaptations of The Amityville Horror, which portrayed the family’s house as haunted. In his trial, DeFeo’s defense attempted to plead insanity, claiming that he heard voices that compelled him to commit the murders. However, he was found guilty of six counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to six concurrent sentences of 25 years to life in prison. Ronald DeFeo Jr. died in custody on March 12, 2021.

13 O’Clock Episode 412: Archibald Hall – The Killer Butler

11 Jul 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Archibald Hall, aka Roy Fontaine and also known as the “Killer Butler” or “Monster Butler,” was a Scottish serial killer active in the late 1970s. Born in 1924, Hall led a double life as a charming and sophisticated butler while simultaneously engaging in criminal activities, including theft and murder. His victims included former employers and associates, whom he killed either for personal gain or to silence them. Hall’s reign of terror came to an end in 1978 when he was arrested and subsequently convicted of multiple murders. He spent the rest of his life in prison, where he died in 2002. His story is a chilling reminder of the potential for evil to hide behind a veneer of respectability and charm.

13 O’Clock Episode 403: Hybristophilia – Why Do Some Women Love Serial Killers?

9 May 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Hybristophilia, a term coined by psychiatrist Dr. John Money, refers to a phenomenon where individuals are sexually aroused by or attracted to people who have committed heinous crimes or displayed violent behavior. This complex attraction often involves a fascination with the power, danger, or notoriety of the criminal. High-profile cases such as Ted Bundy, who garnered a following of admirers despite his gruesome crimes, exemplify this phenomenon. Similarly, the case of Richard Ramirez, known as the “Night Stalker,” drew attention from women who sent him love letters and attended his trial. The allure of such individuals can be attributed to a variety of factors, including the media sensationalism surrounding their crimes and a desire for a perceived connection to danger or rebellion. Join Tom and Jenny as we delve into the very dark side of romance on this messed up and murderous episode 403.

13 O’Clock Episode 398: Randall Woodfield, The I-5 Killer

4 Apr 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Between October of 1980 and February of 1981, a perpetrator known as the I-5 Bandit or the I-5 Killer terrorized Oregon, Washington, and California, raping and murdering women and girls in a frenzied spree of violence. The culprit was apprehended in March of 1981 and turned out to be a man by the name of Randall Woodfield, a former football player from an upper-middle-class family who was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1974 (but never played for them professionally). Though Woodfield was ultimately convicted of only one murder, he is suspected to have committed between 25 and 44, and he is currently serving a life sentence plus 165 years. Join Tom and Jenny as we discuss the murderous career of this cold-blooded killer on a horrific episode 398.

13 O’Clock Episode 394: Harry Edward Greenwell – The Days Inn Killer, aka The I-65 Killer

7 Mar 2024 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Between 1987 and 1991 in the American Midwest, an unknown individual was prowling Interstate 65 in Indiana and Kentucky, raping and murdering at least three women in roadside motels. The perpetrator, variously known as The Days Inn Killer or the I-65 Killer, remained at large for years, and it wasn’t even until 2008 that authorities linked the crimes and realized they were dealing with a serial killer. Sadly, by the time he was identified via DNA as Kentucky railroad worker Harry Edward Greenwell, the monster was already dead, having succumbed to cancer in 2013 while living a normal, quiet life in Iowa. Join Tom and Jenny as they discuss another of America’s “forgotten” serial killers on the road trip nightmare known as Episode 394.
